Highlights

National Monument (MONAS) - The National Monument, commonly known as Monas or Tugu Monas, is a towering structure standing at 132 meters (433 feet) high. It was built to honor the Indonesian people’s fight for independence from the Dutch East Indies colonial rule. Initiated on August 17, 1961, by President Sukarno, the monument was opened to the public on July 12, 1975. Topped with a gold-covered flame symbolizing the spirit of struggle, Monas is situated in the heart of Medan Merdeka Square, Central Jakarta.
Jakarta Old Town - Kota Tua Jakarta, also referred to as Old Batavia (Oud Batavia), is a historic area in Jakarta, Indonesia, spanning 1.3 square kilometers across North and West Jakarta (Pinangsia, Taman Sari, and Roa Malaka). Dubbed the “Asian Gem” and “Queen of the East” by European sailors in the 16th century, Jakarta Lama was a major trade hub for Asia due to its strategic location and rich resources.
Sunda Kelapa Harbour - Sunda Kelapa, also known as Pasar Ikan (fish market), is located at the mouth of the Ciliwung River. Historically, the day’s catch was auctioned early in the morning at the old fish market, with shops along the street selling various maritime goods. This 500-year-old harbor was crucial for the 15th-century Pajajaran kingdom’s trade. It was a key trading port for the Portuguese and the Hindu Kingdom of Pajajaran in the early 16th century, later falling under Portuguese and Dutch control. Today, Sunda Kelapa serves as a fisherman’s wharf and inter-island port, with picturesque Bugis schooners from South Sulawesi still docking there. Despite its historical significance, the harbor remains a vital point for sailing vessels from across Indonesia. Visitors can explore the port, watch laborers unload goods, and even hire a canoe to enjoy the waterside scenery. The nearby old fish market, best visited early in the morning, is also a notable attraction.
Glodok Chinatown - Jakarta’s Chinatown, particularly vibrant ahead of Lunar New Year, is located in the Glodok 9th plot and the Lama Market in Tangerang. These areas are bustling with decorations and festivities, making them lively spots for Chinese New Year celebrations. Residents of the capital and nearby regions can experience the festive atmosphere without traveling far.
Istiqlal Mosque - The Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia, is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, reflecting Indonesia’s status as the most populous Muslim-majority country. Built to align with President Sukarno’s vision of a strong, multi-faith nation, the mosque is situated across from the Catholic Jakarta Cathedral, both near Merdeka Square, where the Monas (Independence Monument) stands.
